Principle 69 – Eternal Perspective  Psalm 73:1-28  We are to have an eternal perspective on material possessions rather than focusing on the temporary prosperity of the wicked. NEW! - Let us know what you think of the program! Support the show

In the final week of our series Honest To God, Paul unpacks the powerful message of Psalm 73, reflecting on Asaph's journey from envy and doubt to faith and trust in God. In this message Paul highlights how life's frustrations and unanswered questions can actually become the path to deeper faith. As Asaph's focus shifts - from others, to himself, to God - ours can too. Paul reminds us that God is good, faithful, and in control, even when life feels unfair. When we bring our doubts into God's presence, we don't receive judgment - we receive grace, guidance, and an eternal perspective that gives us lasting hope.

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Rieber takes us deep into Luke 12 to explore Jesus’ call to be "rich toward God." In a world that constantly urges us to build our own empires and store up treasures for ourselves, this sermon flips that narrative on its head—inviting us to embrace the upside-down Kingdom of God. Pastor Chris unpacks what it means to reject the temporary riches of the flesh and instead invest in what truly matters: God's eternal Kingdom. Whether you're struggling with materialism, seeking deeper purpose, or wanting to align your heart more fully with God's values, this message will challenge and encourage you to live generously, dependently, and eternally minded. Key Themes: The danger of earthly greed Eternal perspective vs. temporary gain Kingdom-minded generosity Living as a steward, not an owner Listen in and be reminded of what it truly means to be rich—in the ways that matter most.

May 28, 2025 Daily Devotion: "The Eternal Perspective"1 John 2:17 New Living Translation 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. Have you ever felt as if you were missing something? Day after day your life slips by and you're certain there must be more. The surest way to live a joyless life is to live outside ofGod's will. Our hearts will never be at peace and our souls will never be satisfied until we're doing what we were created to do. It's easy to get caught up in what school to go to, what career to choose, and where to carry out our lives. Ultimately, none of the major life decisions we make will bring us joy if they're not made with God's will in mind. But what is God's will? We are to seek justice for the oppressed (Isaiah1:17). Christ followers, as a whole, should be known for kindness (Colossians 3:12). Humility should be evident in our lives (Numbers 12:3). We'll begin living joyfully when all of our life decisions are based upon God's will.

Join us for our weekly meditation episodes Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'before God' or 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you on God's goodness and faithfulness as you go about your week.

Only one opinions matters, and that is .'s

How much time do you have left? That's a question we rarely want to face, but it's one that brings clarity and urgency to how we live. Life is fragile, unpredictable, and fleeting—like a tent that wears out, sags, and eventually must be taken down. Paul, writing to the Corinthians, understood this deeply. He endured suffering, near-death experiences, and relentless hardship, yet he remained resilient. Why? Because he fixed his eyes not on what is temporary, but on what is eternal. He knew that the pain and pressure of this life are real, but they are not the end of the story. Instead, they are forging us, shaping us into the image of Christ, and preparing us for something far greater.Paul's perspective was anchored in the resurrection of Jesus. Because Jesus conquered death, everything changes. Our grief is real, but it is not hopeless. Our bodies are breaking down, but an upgrade is coming—a permanent, glorified body, handcrafted by God Himself. This world, with all its groaning and brokenness, is not our home. It's a tent, not a house. The longing we feel, the ache for things to be made right, is not despair but hope—a groaning for what God has promised.In the meantime, we are not left alone. The Holy Spirit is God's guarantee, His earnest deposit, that what He has promised will come to pass. We live in the “already, not yet”—forgiven, adopted, and empowered now, but still waiting for the fullness of what's to come. Every day, every second ticking by, is not just time running out, but time drawing us closer to Jesus. Our heavenly focus fuels our earthly faithfulness. We are called to live with purpose, to use our time, talents, and treasures for things that last, knowing that one day we will stand before Christ—not for condemnation, but for evaluation. The most important question is: Are you ready? Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Are you living to please Him, or just yourself? The seconds are ticking.

Today, we're discussing the recent passing of Pope Francis. As a Protestant, I don't hold to Catholic doctrine, and I've had some serious theological issues with the papacy—but that doesn't mean I won't stop to reflect when someone steps into eternity.In this episode, I'm praying for Pope Francis' soul and hoping he had a deathbed conversion—because no one is beyond God's reach. I also hope Catholics choose a biblical pope next time, not one more interested in pleasing the world than honoring the Word.We'll talk about the things he did right—his care for the poor and moments of humility. But we'll also look at the dangerous things he got wrong:Promoting open borders that have devastated countries and erased traditionSaying all religions worship the same God (they don't)Claiming the human heart is good (the Bible says it's deceitful above all things)Ignoring original sin and the fallen nature of manThis is a respectful but honest take on a figure who meant a lot to many—but who, like all of us, needed Christ above all.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Easter at EVC | Hope for the HopelessPastor Bart brings a powerful Easter message reminding us that the resurrection of Jesus is the turning point for every life marked by pain, disappointment, or despair.Whether you're walking through anxiety, loss, relational struggles, or feeling stuck in the past—there's hope because Jesus is alive. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, we're reminded that through the resurrection, we are born again to a living hope—one that reframes our present pain, frees us from our past, and secures our future.You'll also hear the deeply moving story of Johnny and Britney Rogers—how Jesus met them in the darkest season of their marriage and is transforming their lives from the inside out.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. — Revelation 22:12 Easter Was Just the Beginning The resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning of the greatest promise yet to be fulfilled. Jesus came once as a suffering servant, but He will return as a conquering King. The empty tomb wasn't just proof of His victory over death—it was a guarantee that He is coming again to set all things right. The world is broken. Sin still corrupts. Injustice still thrives. But this is not how the story ends. Just as surely as Jesus walked out of the grave, He will return in glory. Living in Expectation Jesus doesn't tell us exactly when He will return, but He does tell us how to live while we wait. “Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). “Blessed is the servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes” (Matthew 24:46). His return isn't just a distant hope—it's a daily call to action. We are not meant to sit idly by, waiting. We are called to live faithfully, serve boldly, and proclaim the gospel until He comes. Am I Living for His Return? If we truly believe Jesus is coming back, it should change how we live right now. Are we watching for Him, or are we distracted by the world? Are we living for eternity, or are we chasing temporary things? Are we sharing the gospel, knowing time is short? Many people spend their lives preparing for retirement but spend little time preparing for eternity. Which one matters more? The return of Christ isn't something to fear—it's our greatest hope. The King is coming, and He will make all things new (Revelation 21:5). #JesusIsComing, #EasterHope, #LiveForEternity ASK THIS: How does Jesus' return shape the way you live today? What distractions keep you from living in expectation of His coming? In what ways are you actively preparing for eternity? Who needs to hear the gospel from you before time runs out? DO THIS: Live each day with expectation and urgency, knowing Jesus could return at any moment. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to live with my eyes fixed on eternity, never distracted by the temporary things of this world. May I stay faithful, bold, and ready for Your return. Amen. PLAY THIS: He Who Is To Come.

Be encouraged to gain an eternal perspective by coming into the sanctuary of God this Easter. God is calling all people to repent, change our minds when we consider the difficulties of life and of death.

This message, Living with Eternal Perspective, challenges us to stop living like this world is all there is and start aligning our lives with what actually lasts. In a culture obsessed with the temporary—comfort, success, pleasure—we're reminded that eternity is real, and it should reshape everything: how we think, what we chase, how we love, and how we live. Paul's words in Colossians and 2 Corinthians call us to lift our eyes, fix our focus, and live like Jesus is coming back—because He is. It's not about fear—it's about urgency, clarity, and purpose. If we've been raised to new life with Christ, then it's time we live like we know what forever is worth.You were made for more than this moment. We grind, scroll, and chase things that won't matter five minutes into eternity. But Jesus didn't raise us to live distracted—He raised us to live anchored.

When Jesus faced the worst kind of suffering—betrayal, humiliation, torture, and death—He didn't focus only on the pain of the moment. Instead, He looked beyond it to what the suffering would produce: redemption, resurrection, and the salvation of many. He endured because of the joy set before Him.Hebrews 12:2We are (LIVE) on our website's [Morning Devo] podcast now!:::: sELAH rADIO Network https://soulwinnerz.org ::::::::: https://live.soulwinnerz.org and we want to see who you are by simply clicking here https://chat.restream.io/fb :::::Join the Adult Bible Study: https://soulwinnerz.org/adultBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-blaze-bible-study--525630/support.

What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view? So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we're stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity. ✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing others to Him? ✅ Are we storing up treasures in heaven instead of being consumed by what will fade away? ✅ Are we living in light of eternity, keeping our eyes on Jesus? Jesus reminds us: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). This is about more than just wise choices for today—it's about shaping our lives for eternity.

In this episode, we explore Elijah's “broom bush moment,” looking at the parallels with Elijah's time under the broom tree in 1 Kings 19.
